Rallying Support for Baphumelele Children’s Home

The second video release by Beast Philanthropy serves an essential purpose: to rally support for Baphumelele Children’s Home, which faced potential closure due to asbestos concerns. By showcasing Mama Rosie and her team’s heroic work, Beast Philanthropy hopes to inspire private sector partnerships that provide critical aid.

Generous Commitments from KZN-Based RCL FOODS and Checkers

Beast Philanthropy’s collaboration with KZN-based RCL FOODS has resulted in generous commitments from their brands YumYum, SunBake, Do More, and Rama. Thanks to these donations, all the children at Baphumelele will have access to nutritious meals for the coming year. Similarly, Checkers has contributed a significant amount of food to the cause.

Making a Difference

For those wishing to support the project, Beast Philanthropy offers multiple ways to make a difference. Donations can be made through their website, and a unique t-shirt campaign is available at shopbeastphilanthropy.com, featuring designs created by the children of Baphumelele.

A Beacon of Hope

At the heart of this story is Baphumelele Children’s Home, which provides shelter and care for 120 orphans and displaced children. Mama Rosie’s unwavering devotion has impacted the lives of over 5,300 children, giving them hope and brighter future prospects.

Beast Philanthropy’s YouTube channel serves as an emblem of hope and transformation. The organization has invested approximately R10 million into various projects, using revenue from their channel, including advertisement, sponsorships, and merchandise sales, to fuel their noble mission.

Inspiring, Uplifting, and Transforming Communities Worldwide

Through creative initiatives and a commitment to change, the organization has left an indelible mark on Baphumelele Children’s Home, demonstrating that even in the darkest of times, a beacon of hope can shine through.
